The Opera Studio of the Baku Music Academy named after Uzeyir Hajibeyli hosted a concert “Bizim Bakı gecələri” (Our Baku Nights), dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the famous composer, author of popular songs Alekper Tagiyev (04/28/1924 – 04/16/1981).
As Day.Az reports with reference to Trend, the concert was presented within the framework of the project of the Ganja State Philharmonic named after Fikret Amirov “From Ganja to Baku”.
In the concert program accompanied by the pop ensemble of the Gyandzhi State Philharmonic named after Fikret Amirov performed compositions “Eşqimi sönməyə koymaram”, “Yağış yağır”, “Külək”, “Gözləəyədıryməməməmə”, Gəncəm”, “Sədaqətim var”, “Mən baharyn qizıyam”, “Bakı gecələri”, “Kal sənə kurban”, “Sən gəlməz oldun”, “Nazyndan olmaz”, met with applause from the audience.
A native of Ganja, Alekper Tagiyev left a big mark on the national musical culture. From a young age, people around him noticed his musical abilities, but the young man chose a different path and went into law. After graduating from the All-Union Correspondence Law Institute, he began working as an investigator in Goychay. In total, he worked in the prosecutor’s office for more than 30 years, rising to the position of head of the investigative department of the Baku city prosecutor’s office.
The lack of special musical education did not prevent Alekper Tagiyev from becoming a famous composer, whose music was performed by such artists as Zeynab Khanlarova, Rashid Behbudov, Shovket Alekperova, Sara Gadimova, Rubaba Muradova, Zeinab Khanlarova, Islam Rzayev, Flora Kerimova, Nisa Gasimova, Mammadbagir Bagirzade, Faik Agayev and others. The famous musician Akif Bakikhanov provided enormous assistance in the development of Alekper Tagiyev as a composer. Subsequently, Alekper Tagiyev composed about 2000 songs. People return to the work of Alekper Tagiyev to this day; his songs have entered the repertoire of not only Azerbaijani singers, but also performers outside of Azerbaijan.
